More Junk

People are just insane sometimes. These are the types of people I am playing against and a decent example of what the hell can you put people on in some of these hands.

Ugly stuff. Unfortunately I'm stuck drinking with a buddy tonight. Usually we drink every 10 days, but I drank with him Monday, and I needed a ride (more on that later) to pick my girlfriend up from dialysis (maybe more on that too) so I kind of got suckered in. Also, my friends are playing a show Saturday night, so I will be drinking then too. It's almost as if I'm back in high school. The point of this is that I will have to reach 20 matches today and about half will be when I am drunk. Judging by the types of hands I've been playing this may end up being a very interesting night. Last time I played drunk I ended up about 100.

I find I've been having to give up a lot of hands on the river, which I hate to do. It really sucks to be in a decent position on the flop or turn, but not strong enough to raise, and then get bet out on the river to a horrible card. Hopefully it's just variance and I'm not playing badly.
